The general objects are the "root" objects and can be found in the project tree. The following general objects are available:

•Page

•Alarm

•Virtual Keyboard

•Softkey

•Softkey Frame

Palette objects are "child" objects that can be dragged from a palette into root objects or other palette objects to create object hierarchy.

The palette objects contain again two categories: Containers and the objects that are to be placed inside a container:

Container Objects

Common Controls

Measurement Controls

Lamps and Switches

Special Controls

After creating a project, one page will be automatically created. To create a new page, do a right click on the Pages node in the project tree and select New Page.

To open a page double click on the page in the project tree. The page will then open in the designer area.

To add objects to a page, a frame has to be added to the page. To do that drag a frame from the Palette's Container section to the page in the designer area.

Note: Only frames can be added to pages directly. All other objects can only be dragged in a frame.

After that, any other object from the palette can be dragged to the frame.

Note: Objects can also be dragged and dropped to the objects in the project tree.

After objects have been added, they can be customized. Customization happens by changing the object's properties.

There are a lot of properties that are shared by a lot of object types and there are object specific properties.

A list of common properties can be found here.

To change behavior of an object, it is possible to configure actions for certain events. See here for a list of events and actions.
